Star Wars* Galaxies: An Empire Divided* Game Does Not Run

Symptom(s):

Star Wars* Galaxies: An Empire Divided* game will not run.

An error message is displayed indicating that Direct3D* could not be correctly initialized and that the video card may not support transform and lighting.

Cause:
The game requires a graphics adapter with hardware T&L (Transform and Lighting) support to run. Intel® graphics controllers do not support hardware T&L. T&L can be done by the processor (in software) with acceptable performance in most cases, but since the game specifically checks for hardware T&L, it fails to run.

Solution:
This game requires features that are not currently implemented by the referenced graphics hardware. To determine which graphics features are implemented on a particular graphics platform, refer to the product datasheet on http://developer.intel.com/products/chipsets.

Operating System:
Windows* 98, Windows* 98 SE, Windows* Me, Windows* XP Professional, Windows* XP Home Edition

This applies to:
Intel® 82810 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller
Intel® 82830M Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller
Intel® 82852/82855 Graphics Controller Family
